1602 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario
416.823.0661
Also known as the bar whose name changes nightly according to the whims of the presiding barkeep, 1602 has all the creature comforts of a local: mellow lighting, well-loved couches, a chalkboard wall that invites inebriated scrawls and, best of all, a long bar backed by shelves so loaded with whisk(e)y, they’re beginning to buckle. What’ll it be? American rye? Fancy Highland scotch? Small-batch bourbon? Maybe save some room for a bit of everything, because 1602 has one of the city’s funkiest whisk(e)y programs.
